**Overview of Angina and Arrhythmias: Treatment Features**This educational guide summarizes the fundamental characteristics and treatment options for angina and arrhythmias, with a focus on antianginal and antiarrhythmic therapies.**Angina** is characterized by chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart. Treating angina often involves lifestyle changes and medications that improve blood flow and reduce heart workload. Common medications include nitrates, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers.**Arrhythmias** refer to irregular heartbeats which can lead to various complications. Treatments aim to restore normal heart rhythm and rate, using medications like beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and other specific antiarrhythmics.**Adenosine Receptor Agonists**These agents work by slowing conduction through the atrioventricular node, which can help terminate certain arrhythmias. They must be used cautiously as they can cause side effects, including chest discomfort, flushing, and shortness of breath.This content is intended for educational use, providing a concise overview for students and professionals interested in cardiovascular treatments.

A 42-year-old obese client with complaints of severe radiating chest pain, tightening in the chest, and dyspnea has received a diagnosis of angina pectoris. He is prescribed nitroglycerin tablets to relieve the pain attacks. During a follow-up visit, the client tells the nurse that the frequency and duration of the attacks have reduced with the use of nitroglycerin tablets, and now he is eager to take necessary precautions. The client is also a heavy smoker.a. Why would you say that the client has angina pectoris and not myocardial infarction? b. What instructions should the nurse give the client to prevent further attacks? 11, 12, 132.
